Uses and Reminders
Your QuietComfortTMAcoustic
®
Noise Cancelling
Thank you for purchasing the Bose® QuietComfort
Acoustic Noise Cancelling headset. Advanced design,
integrated technologies, and high quality materials
enable the headset to provide you with clearer, more lifelike
sound reception, while reducing unwanted noise.
Wearing it comfortably and effectively
Notice the marking L or R on the headband just above
each earcup. They indicate the proper position (L for left
ear, R for right) to ensure a good fit and performance.
Put the headset on and adjust it so the headband rests
gently on your head and the earcushions fit snugly (an
effective seal) and comfortably around your ears (with your
ears completely inside the ear cushions).
Remove any jewelry or earwear that affects the comfort
and fit of the headset.
Using your headset
The headset has two volume settings – Hi and Lo. These
settings are only volume levels for listening to audio and do
not impact the noise reduction technology.
For noise reduction technology only, turn the unit on Hi or
Lo and do not plug the headset into any audio source.
For audio use, begin listening in the Lo setting. Then adjust
the volume on the audio source. For more volume, try the
Hi setting. First turn down the volume on the audio source,
then switch to the Hi setting. Finally, re-adjust the volume
on the audio source.
The headset can be used with a variety of audio sources:
CD, DVD, MP3, laptop computers, and home stereo.
